A spiderweb forms on Chakala Booker’s “A Moment in Time”. Art is placed in nature, nature grows upon it.

“Ear” by Tomio Miki. I think it belonged to a giant.

My grandfather used to tell me a story about a giant raakshasa who showed how fearsome he was by describing his teeth and spit and hair. I imagine that his hair looked something like this.

The giant left his marbles out

One mode of transportation around the park, although I preferred just to walk.

I found this earring dangling from a tree, fluttering in the wind. Clearly someone created their own art. 🙂

Another panel on this piece had the Italian words “Lo sai: debbo riperderti e non posso,” engraved in it. That means “You know : I have to lose you again and I can not.”

My dream backyard

Country road

Sometimes the juxtaposition of art and nature was a little too odd

Amongst fields of summer

Chasing butterflies

Serenity

The road home
